This is the first book I’ve read in this series, but I felt like there was decent summarizations so I didn’t feel lost. I did feel like this book tackled too much and yet somehow moved too slowly for me. I found my attention wandering especially through the first third of the book. The action did pick up nearer towards the end. The concept was fascinating and I liked that it looked at what happened after Hitler died especially with his supporters. While this type of story isn’t necessarily my first go to I did think the author created good characters and did a good job with making it a story that did suck me in, just much further in than I would have hoped. I liked the main female character Saffron a lot. She is the type of hero everyone woman needs. And I commend the story on tackling huge important issues from both sides. This book is violent at times and trigger warning for torture.
